B-LINE BU-9-12 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What beam flange thickness does the B-Line BU-9-12 beam fastener clamp onto?
The BU-9-12 universal beam fastener grips flange thicknesses from 0.56 inch up to 0.75 inch. If the bottom flange of your beam or bar joist measures thinner than 0.56 inch or thicker than 3/4 inch, this clamp is the wrong size and you need a different range.
2) Can I hang an electrical box or light fixture from a steel beam with the B-Line BU-9-12?
That is exactly what it is for. The BU-9-12 is used to suspend boxes or fixtures from the beam flange, so it takes the place of drilling or welding the structural steel. It attaches by flange mount, clamping to the beam edge.
3) Is the B-Line BU-9-12 beam clamp UL listed for electrical work?
It carries a UL/CUL listing, which is what an inspector or institutional spec will look for when the clamp is supporting electrical boxes or fixtures. The CUL side covers Canadian installations as well.
4) How much room does the BU-9-12 beam fastener take up on the beam?
Compact, at 1 inch height by 1 inch length by 1 inch width, and it weighs .077 lb. In tight ceiling cavities or where you are fitting several clamps along a run, that 1 inch cube footprint is what matters.
5) Do I need anything else besides the BU-9-12 beam clamp to finish the hanger?
The clamp handles the connection to the beam flange only. The rod, wire, or strap that carries the box or fixture down from it, and the hardware at the fixture end, are separate items. Plan the suspension length and the rod or hanger wire for your drop with the clamp.
